\nPigeon 1: “Tis a right roller coaster o’ a year. Folks ‘ave gone right barmy for them gulls.”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 2: “Aye, they’ve been snatchin’ all the breadcrumbs right fae under our beaks.”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 3: “Those rapacious gulls are nothing but purloining nuisances! They’re perpetually pilfering our food, it’s positively galling!”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 4: “Always showing off with their dive-bombing stunts, like performing pets.”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 5: “Strewth, like flying rats, more like! Pooping everywhere. Stealing our railing.”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 1: “I tell ee wot, mate, I’d like to see Abingdon made a gull-free zone”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 2: “Aye, noo you’re talking. Gull-free, gull-free!”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 2: “Aye! Make Abingdon a mair pigeon-friendly place.”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 3: “I’m in wholehearted agreement with you there. And let the humans be aware that gulls are transmitters of avian influenza.”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 4: “Let’s start spreading the word and get Abingdon gull-free.”<\/p>\n

Pigeon 5: “Yeah, sounds like a plan.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
